Bike-O-Rama Blast Off

kendra — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 10:32:37 +0000

Bike-O-Rama week returns this week with an Alleycat race from the Morristown Green, though it sort of kicks off tonight, unofficially (is any of this official?) with Dean’s Full Moon Adventure Ride from the Morristown Green.

Anyhow, Sunday there is the Alleycat, followed by Meatless Monday Ride, Tuesday Cruiseday, a Wednesday Walk to Fort Nonsense, on Thursday, Douglas is hosting a Hill-no! Ride, and on Friday, the Community Ride takes off from town hall, followed by Bike-In Movie Night at Grow It Green Morristown’s garden on Early Street.

Is it Thursday?

Thanks Walk Bike New Jersey for this report :

http://walkbikejersey.blogspot.com/2011/08/nj-transit-bikes-on-trains-access.html

The new policy says “Cyclists and Segway users can only board or alight trains at a station with a high-level or mini high-level platform. For safety reasons, cyclists are not permitted to board or alight trains at a low-level platform, including Hoboken Terminal.”

This effectively ends my NJ Transit use. : (

Good Luck! Paris Brest Paris 2011

Paris Brest Paris 80 and 90 hour riders have taken off!

Pre ride reports were streaming in:

“I was fiddling with the bike at my hotel this morning, adjusting the
height of my saddle, and the seatpost binder bolt broke. This is
about ten hours before my 9 pm start time. It should have been
fairly easy to get the remainder of the broken bolt out, but it
wouldn’t budge. The bike shop nearby could not fix it except for
kludge that looked like it might possibly work for the entire trip.
750 miles with an iffy seat attachment, this is not good.

I was about to leave the shop when another mechanic arrived, riding
with his Dad. They took me to their house, worked on it for an hour
and a half and fixed it! They must have broken half a dozen drill
bits in the process. Really nice of them. Of course they wouldn’t let
me pay them.

My start time is about four hours. Time for a little nap.

I’ve had fun following along the d.c. tandem team of chasing mailboxes and the daily randonneur.

I hope they have nice weather
